Within the scope of the practicum course ELE 404-Practice II in schools, senior students at the Department of Foreign Language Education find the chance to improve their professional skills with the support of practicum teachers in the schools. Before starting their careers very soon, they are participating in the teaching practices at the schools which have intensive English language courses in their curriculums. 

Attached are some scenes from their practicum experiences:

Seçil Yücelyiğit, one of the academicians of the Department of Pre-School Education of the Basic Education Department, conducted a workshop on STEM Studies at the Kangaroo Symposium and Classroom Practices with Merve Seyrek, our research assistant. During this study, teachers, "What is STEM? What is not?" found answers to questions. Case studies were shared with teachers. Our participating teachers talked about their own STEM studies. In the last part of our workshop, participants were asked to conduct a new study with group work. These studies were shared among other groups.

Dr. Zerrin Toker who is Head of Department of Mathematics and Science Education and Gizem Güzeller who is research assistant at the same department performed the Mathematical Materials Design Workshop at the Kangaroo Mathematics Symposium in Nesin Math Village on April 6-7. In this study, it is aimed to give a new perspective to teacher and teacher candidates about teaching material development. During the study, the materials that the teachers had applied before, were also discussed while the sample materials that could be developed around the big ideas were shared.

TED University Faculty of Education Elementary Mathematics Education Department was in Nesin Math Village. We took part in Nesin Matematik Village for Kangaroo Symposium with our first grade students (11 people) and 2nd grade students (4 people). During this 2-day event, our students had various tasks for the organization. They participated in different presentations and workshops other than their tasks. Our students who came to Nesin Matematik Village for the first time gained a new vision about out-of-school learning environments.
